"WADL is moving in a new direction, and the news programming will not be a part of its new format," says CEO Kevin Adell. "I want to personally thank everyone who helped us test the 'News@9' segment and also thank CBS Television for providing great programming that serves our market."

WADL TV DETROIT is a full power commercial broadcast station serving the Metro Detroit market and the CEO also owns THE WORD Network, the largest African American religious network in the world.
